No murderer’s face ever seen in the dock was more typi- cal than this, yet Germany hails it as a hero’s. Captain Max Valentiner, son of the dean of the Sonderburg cathedral, is the Hun pirate who tor- | pedoed the Lusitania. He looks cap- able of so dast: a deed” The photograph is that of a man wearing a beard which bears traces of having | been touched up a little in order to make it look fierc It now turns out, so the story goes, that the photo- graph is not that of Valentiner at all, | but of Cornelius Vanderbilt, taken some time ago in yachting costume. His brother, Alfred, was one of the victims of the Lustania. SHUNTED OVER OCEAN Mexican Diplomat Finally Reaches Switzerland After Having Been Forced to Return Once to America, Berlin, Sept.

United States Steel made only moderate headway and rails were barely steady. Rails shook off their apathy before the end of the first hour and helped to revise interest in the general list. Pacifics, grangers, coalers and trunk lines rose 1 to 2 points. Steel also came forward but failed to repeat yes- terday’s high record. Bethlehem Steel extended its gain by almost sixteen points and General Motors climbed to new heights at 645, with marked strength in Maxwell and Studebaker. Industrial Alcohol, Pittsburgh Coal and Railway Steel Spring featured the other strong specialties, with pro- nounced weakness in the paper group. Bonds were steady. Steel, Coppers and Marines yielded one to two points under pressure mid-day, with more moderate rc tions in rails, the latter, however, soon recovering with Steel. General Motors was the spectacular feature, extending its gain to 48 points at 690.
